I just read Revolutionary War: Alpha and enjoyed it quite a bit. But other than Captain Britain, I know nothing about the characters in the book or the events in the flashbacks. Anyone familiar with this stuff? The big battles with Mys-Tech that were shown, was that from the 90s Marvel UK stuff or from Captain Britain & MI13? Any background info anyone has would be appreciated.

I'm in a similar boat. Did really enjoy it though but I'm hoping this event is able to launch the characters into the regular marvel universe and interact with Avengers and X-Men etc as this is still very much an isolated event which relies quite heavily on what came before. Very dark and gloomy too.
Looking forward to the next issue Revolutionary War: Dark Angel #1 by Kieron Gillen who has already introduced the character into his current Iron Man run. Anybody know how she fits into that?

I'm the same as you guys and know little about any of the characters, but loved the first issue. Definitely want to find out more. Loved the whole devil worshipping techno wizard thing. Really enjoyed the art in this issue to.

Yeah I'm picking up Dark Angel this week as well. Is she in Iron Man? Which issue? I've got most of that run (it got cut for budgetary reasons awhile back but I started reading again at #18 and picked up some of the ones I'd missed). I'd love to see these characters brought into the larger Marvel Universe as well. I'd read a Captain Britain series, or a Braddock Academy series which I enjoyed in Avengers Arena.

If you want to read more Marvel UK but don’t know where to start I would suggest picking up the 4 issue mini-series the Mys-Tech Wars. The Mys-Tech Wars min had the Marvel UK heroes joining together to finally stop the Mys-tech Corporation by imprisoning the 7 techno mages (that formed the Mys-tech Corporation) into a hell dimension. The events that occurred in the Mys-tech War mini lead directly into the Revolutionary War: Alpha comic.
Below I added a list of all the Marvel UK titles that I could remember that made up the universe that the Revolutionary War mini-series takes place in. It’s been years since I read any of the titles listed below but I remember enjoying Death’s Head II quite a bit. You can pick these up online or in Discount comic bins pretty cheap unfortunately they are not in Digital or at least they are not on Comixology at the very least.
Black Axe
Codename: Genetix
Dark Angel
Dark Guard
Death’s Head II
Die-Cut Vs. G-Force
Digitek
Gene Dogs
Genetix
Hell’s Angel
KillPower
Knights of Pendragon
Motormouth
OverKill
Plasmer
Shadow Riders
Warheads

I definitely need to hunt up that Mys-Tech Wars mini. I'm still really enjoying Revolutionary War. Knights of Pendragon was bonkers but a lot of fun. I hope marvel does more with these characters after this series if over. |
